  • What is “Out the ass” in this context?

    Does Publix not sell premium meat and cheese? The grocery stores in my area do and somebody could definitely get away with that here.

    Much of making a good charcuterie is individually separating things on the board. We are paying for a combination of the time it took to assemble plus the time we will be continuing to eat it and for them to clean up.




  • It’s a class warfare anthem, yes. But it’s sung by somebody who actively and openly supports the party that is most egregiously anti-working class right now.

    It’s most likely that 30 years ago he wasn’t as well off as he is now and has had a change of heart in his older age. My point is that he likely doesn’t fully agree with the messaging anymore as he is in fact now quietly rich and voting against the poor.





  • I do think the argument of a maximum value to contribution is more difficult to make with an artist as the example. Especially one as prevalent as Taylor Swift.

    Art is intended to illicit emotions from people. Music in particular continues to illicit those emotions from years after it is released.

    Are we then saying that the value of people feeling joy has a cap?

    I don’t necessarily disagree with capping the income of an artist. I’m just pointing to the danger of using them as an example.



  • As a senior engineer recently turned manager I hear this type of mentality from most of my junior all the way up to senior devs.

    The only thing I’d suggest to you is spend some time digging into the tools you’re building outside of the project you’re working on. Just to get a general understanding of how the pieces fit together. Definitely do it during work hours, though. I’m in no way suggesting outside of work, here. Once you’ve spent enough time digging, you’ll surprise yourself in how effective you get at answering questions.
